Re: Sighting in new sight formula
The formula is sight radius (in inches) / range (in inches) = amt to move sight that will result in movement of bullet strike 1 inch.
For instance, if you have a sight radius (distance from rear sight to front sight) of 24", and you want to move your group 3 inches to the left at 50 yards, then:
24/1800=.013, .013x3=.039. So, you would move your front sight to the right (or rear sight to the left) .039" in this example. Works the same for elevation.
